The Wynns are back on their sailboat, but this time they’re not setting off on a new adventure. In their latest video, titled Prepping Our Sailboat To Go NOWHERE, they share their journey of adjusting their sails when the wind doesn’t blow in the direction they had planned.
Through a series of updates and maintenance tasks on their boat, including taking care of LFP batteries, prepping foil boards, and fixing a steering cable issue, the Wynns show that even when things don’t go as planned, there are still opportunities for growth and learning. They embrace their circumstances, even if it means being “stuck” at a marina longer than expected.
Their curiosity and willingness to try new things shine through as they share their experiences of fixing boat problems, exploring alternative living, and engaging with strangers along their journey. The Wynns’ message of embracing the unknown and letting curiosity lead the way is a reminder that when you can’t change the wind, you adjust your sails.
So, join the Wynns on their sailboat as they navigate through unexpected turns and strive to cultivate curiosity in every aspect of their lives. And remember, going to therapy is a sign of strength, not weakness, so if you need support in adjusting your sails, BetterHelp is there to help you get started on your journey to self-discovery.

From one tool to another tool.
HH sucks , that's the bottom line.
You guys have a really hard life, really feel sorry for you 😂
Good luck with your boat
What exactly are you waiting for HH to fix before you can get underway? Is it still the anodes, the fridge, the lack of power from the propellers or the overcharging of the batteries. Or is it something else?
Hh aren't the only cat manufacturer having big issues with new boat builds .could you imagine buying a car and having to wait 7 to 8 months for a warranty claim.
This was a great episode, everything is always so positive. Really good .
Firstly Jason You look like u were having fun , by the time you leave that marina you and Nicky will have mastered those t foil boards have fun
Secondly Nicky hair hair is getting long , no hairdresser at that marina ( looks good)
Some video and drone shots with Jason on the T foil board
You could do a full episode on the t foil board
Home Improvement refs were top tier 😝👌🏻
Love the episode. Hope everything gets worked out. One thing I heard during food safety couses at Penn State, was that the term is mispronounced pot-able. It is correctly pronounced Pote-able. (flowing clean water) Keep on keeping on.
Going to be very interesting when the full story eventually comes out.
I've been out of touch for several months. Can anyone fill me in on the remaining issues(s)? Still waiting 7 months later seems a major issue?
7:12 As any man will attest to – having your nuts marred by teeth is just the worst.
…when you get and old boat it all up to you; fix it do the upgrades etc. But if you buy a brand new one you ar a hostage of the company for all the guaranty period … and if you are in a remote place that is no joke…
My god your videos have become so boring ever since you sold Curiosity. You used to do touring and exploring and almost every video since then has been boat work or boat work related or just talking heads! I think there's been a handful of videos since then about the sort of things what you used to do. Unsubbed!
As long as you own this boat you are going to continue to trip up over ‘how advanced’ the boat is. KISS is good on a boat ..Keep It Simple Stupid .. what’s wrong with a RHIB tender with a 10hp outboard ? Steering never gets stuck even after years of saltwater, long times of left alone etc. and costs a fraction of what you have. Water maker .. touch screen automatic ?? How about a pump, high pressure pump, membranes, dial pressure up by hand put product water into tank, simple like portable Rainman makers from Australia. As for you hybrid drive system .. would catch me crossing the pacific with it .. try engine, gearbox, shaft, propeller … there’s a reason why 99% of commercial vessels use this system.
The foil looks like great fun! Perhaps you will have plenty of time to enjoy
Maybe its time to learn some new skills? Get creative, I would love the time to make art. Still i love the vibe of this video, honest, and simple. Could show us cooking, day to day life..doesnt 'have' to be entertaining to be a good vlog…Watch Elsa and Barron, she manages to make not much as all such wonderful viewing. anyways- good job, you'll be right.
There's a reason for everything, so no reason to be sad or feel like you're "stuck." Some of us are "stuck" at home with various situations, but things could always be worse, so embrace (be genuinely thankful for) the "stuck." There is always something to gain, or learn, or lose what wasn't good for you. Nikki, there was just something irresistible in the look in your eye in the outro that told me EGBOK (Everything's Gonna Be OK). Embrace the EGBOK.
Like you guys, we have a catamaran with a big lithium battery bank that we’re not using. We reprogrammed the BMS to hold the batteries at 40% charge whilst on shore power. It’s probably a better fix for next time you leave the boat?
Great Video, love your sense of fun, I also think your boat looks awesome (need to go back to see what your problems are? the tender looks fantastic & the manufacturer a dream, must say your reference Tim the tool man was gold! haha, look forward to watching you in the future plus all the catching up to do haha D x
I would like to know when each of these videos are filmed, the real date… I have the impression that the timing to show them is not necessarily chronological. It depends on the status of the negotiation with HH. Manipulating YouTube followers for the benefit of the negotiation process is not a good thing. I don't think many people realize it, but for someone who knows about editions and stories… the manipulation is clear. Unfortunately, as a follower of several years, I am left with two conclusions: HH is not a trustworthy company, and GWW have lost my trust. All very sad.
Keep yer chin up great to see you both back on board ! Tools getting used wicked u can never have enough tools for all those boat jobs. New toys efoils brilliant I hired an efite foil board on hol last year not as easy as it looks, once you nail it soooo much fun , however still not got around to purchase one if you can share why you went for that brand and design would be cool to here about
I think I can speak for everyone we are all very keen for you all to be on the back under passage in your HH e Catamaran to see how it preforms on your future adventures
until then it’s good to see you both well keep the videos up
I appreciate your excitement Jason 😊 7:05 those are called non-marring channel locks. Pretty awesome for sure. You have a variety of expensive top brand tools, insulated screw drivers, ratcheting nut drivers. Not gunna lie, I am a bit jealous. You might say I have “tool envy”. What every man wants to hear 😅. Most yachties have the cheapest tools out there due to the corrosive,salty environment. Let us know how these hold up over time please and maybe these companies should sponsor you, although, I am sure yachties are not their target customer base. I have been a technician for 35 yrs so I can appreciate your excitement with quality tools❤
gotta say that "pinning" a connector from the top is a poor idea. IF the "Safety" is lost and pinned from top the itemj falls out and you are disconnected. IF it's been pinned on the bottom the connector will stay in with gravity most times,, least gives you a fighting chance to get to "safety".
Warning: Everything is ‘super’-this or that….(good ol’ us of a)
Why your boat has not been fixed in 7 months? Is this the sort of time frame a boat owner should expect a boat builder is going to need to fix guarantee issues?
7 months of marina fees and other expenses… Oh boy. I hope HH is paying for these bills. You guys need a solution asap. Father and son team at HH sounded so sure of the solutions when they said "we know what to do and we will fix it" as I remember them quick to handle the crisis on youtube but if they knew what they are doing, why the 7+ months of stalling and wait. This is morale destroyer and you two are so up-beat about it and hopefully this will end favorably for you and for all of us souls stuck in Philippines with you. I have been saving for a catamaran and have been researching HH since you guys purchased one and I shifted my focus on used catamarans now on. If my dream of owning one comes to fruition, HH will NOT be the one. I applaud you for your stoic approach to the entire ordeal. I think I would have lost my marbles at this point. Hats off to you both. You two are angels.
your boat is a dream if you ever need help I have no experience but I'm smart I have my own 30 foot I have no sail yet haha
Great patience ❤
must be very frustrating for you both, all you can do is keep busy and look after each other and hopefully solutions will be forthcoming soon ,good luck
They should buy the boat back. Immediately. So you can get another boat. This is hrrible publicity. NO WAY would I buy a boat from HH. I would never buy any boat anyways. Can not afford one. This is not right to do to people. This should be a really easy fix. I do not understand.
Thanks for the laughs. Great video this week!
Anyone else get as excited as Jason does about tools? We’re gonna have to start a second channel just for his handyman segments. Any channel name suggestions?👷♂🛠
